Washington is one of the few states where the Legislature sets tuition, and how high it should go is a matter of debate. Tuition and fees for an in-state undergraduate at the UW Seattle campus run to $8,701 a year while a nonresident pays $25,329.
Congenital Malformations of the Gastrointestinal Tract. Sometimes babies are born with malformations somewhere along the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. These malformations are not caused by prematurity and are rare. They range from minor to serious and can occur anywhere from the esophagus to the anus.
Cystitis in children. In children, cystitis often is caused by congenital abnormalities (present at birth) of the urinary tract. Vesicoureteral reflux is a condition in which the child cannot completely empty the bladder. It allows urine to remain in or flow backward (reflux) into the partially empty bladder.
